only about four hundred in the world, that they are the private property of the
Epirote royal family, that they cannot thrive out of Epirus, and that people
elsewhere have tried to rear them, but without success.

Horses, mules, and asses feed on corn and grass, but are fattened chiefly by
drink. Just in proportion as beasts of burden drink water, so will they more or
less enjoy their food, and a place will give good or bad feeding according as
the water is good or bad. Green corn, while ripening, will give a smooth coat;
but such corn is injurious if the spikes are too stiff and sharp. The first crop of
clover is unwholesome, and so is clover over which ill-scented water runs; for
the clover is sure to get the taint of the water. Cattle like clear water for
drinking; but the horse in this respect resembles the camel, for the camel likes
turbid and thick water, and will never drink from a stream until he has
trampled it into a turbid condition. And, by the way, the camel can go without
water for as much as four days, but after that when he drinks, he drinks in
immense quantities.

The elephant at the most can eat nine Macedonian medimni of fodder at
one meal; but so large an amount is unwholesome. As a general rule it can
take six or seven medimni of fodder, five medimni of wheat, and five mareis
of wine-six cotylae going to the maris. An elephant has been known to drink
right off fourteen Macedonian metretae of water, and another metretae later in
the day.
Camels live for about thirty years; in some exceptional cases they live
much longer, and instances have been known of their living to the age of a
hundred. The elephant is said by some to live for about two hundred years; by
others, for three hundred.
